In image number two, each member is kitted out in a glamorous, multi-coloured outfit as they sit or stand amid twisted cables and blurry monitor screens.

While initially the purpose of the images seems unclear, BTS have captioned the shots with the words ‘Love Yourself’, ‘Answer’ and ‘Concept’, implying the photos are closely linked with the band’s new album.

Fans were quick to share their appreciation of the new images with excited messages in the comments.

‘These concept photos are just perfect!,’ wrote one fan, while another noted the boys were ‘all looking so handsome’.

But Khan doubled down on his statement, re-sharing his original tweet with the comment: ‘Asian Americans: STOP FEMINIZING OUR MEN. ASIANS ARE MACHO TOO. Asians: YOU NO WEAR LIPSTICK? WHY?’

Bad move, Khan. BTS fans don’t usually back down when it comes to their boys.

BTS’ new album Love Yourself: Answer is set for release later this month.
